A norovirus outbreak at a Loveland assisted living center this week has prompted a quarantine to stop the spread, according to its executive director.

Kristen Vasquez said she could not share the number of affected residents but that they were being confined to their rooms. Park Regency Assisted Living also has employed additional sanitization, visitation and staff procedures per policy.

Larimer County Health and Environment spokeswoman Katie O’Donnell said that she did not know how many residents showed symptoms, but that Park Regency contacted the health department to report an outbreak, meaning at least two non-related people have shown symptoms. She added that test results for one resident came back positive for the disease.

“It’s not a fun thing for anyone to go through, and it’s very contagious,” Vasquez said Wednesday afternoon, noting that the disease causes vomiting and diarrhea. “We don’t want visitors coming in and bringing it home to their families. But we’re still providing activities for those confined to their apartments, and they can call other residents.”

The Department of Health and Human Services on Friday proposed a new rule that civil rights groups worry may be used to deny care to transgender patients. The proposal is part of a broader effort by religious conservatives in the Trump administration to define gender restrictively. The result has been a weakening of protections for transgender people.

Diabetics in Colorado who use insulin to control their blood sugar levels won't pay more than $100 per month for the drug starting in January thanks to a bill signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday.
